Writer/Director Cole Lewis’ 1991 premieres at The Theatre Centre, presented by Guilty by Association as part of Why Not Theatre’s 2019 Riser Project. This multi-media piece, set in the titular year, tells the coming-of-age story of Nicole, a 12-year-old drifter. After getting into some trouble with the police, and wanting to distance herself from the gruesome murder of a classmate by a local serial killer, she flees across the border to the Deep South, hoping to reconnect with her father—a boozy, fist-swinging Vietnam veteran.
